i am proud to have this in yuba county to offer it to your community. i believe the headline is that a meeting seller needs a willing buyer, citizens that can save $120 million. the co2 emissions reduction of 22 million pounds over tenures, and lower-priced. i mean, the issue today is the landfill, and a very, very substantial savings in tipping fees. i think recology has shown they are a forward-looking company. they had shown themselves willing to work with you in the past, and it took them 4.5 years to the winning bidder by a substantial margin, and i think this is a very substantial question. this is much needed revenue to a county korea to replace it, we were the property taxes but we would not see for maybe 10 years. we have great need we have unemployment. finally, san francisco has 11 times more people than you the county. we have 13 times more space and land. we are an excellent partner to the san francisco community, and we welcome your business. thank you. chair chu: thank you, and for the record, what is your name? >> brian rogers. chair chu
